Well, I'm sure whoever designed this site wasnt tasked with finding a new manager. I reckon we can do both.

Looks a vast improvement over what we had for sure.

As somone already said this will already have been being worked on and due for launch.

What's happened with the team/manager/board would have no impact on this.

Hopefully this version will have the info on the replacement for "Seatexchange". The old website still had a link to their site.


To add to the conspiracy theories; since MoN wanted to control everything, maybe he was Villa's webmaster as well. When MoN left, he might have killed the OS

I am not going to believe the new site is coming until I see a picture of it outside BMH holding a shirt

I love how you've updated your signature to have "Martin O'Neill" in there. Brilliant.

I like it. I've wanted a proper relaunch for ages, been very envious of what Man Citeh have done with their site.

It's not quite there yet, but it's certainly alot better.

Looks good, as it should have done after the last update which was a bit of a disappointment.

Can anyone find the club legends section that was mentioned in the preview?

Looks like the "coming soon" page was stuck in my Chrome history and overriding the new page.

I've cleared the history and can see the new Pravda now

I don't like the Tickets page

Please ditch the puns ("Rapid start") and use of club nicknames ("Trotters").

Wonderful new version. The player gallery is top notch and the history part nicely laid out.

Am I being thick, or has the information on buying tickets for forthcoming away matches disappeared - Stoke and Wolves - if anyone can see these details then please provide a link?

Cheers.

The site is fine, try ctrl+F5.

A much improved site, but the ads are still far too intrusive.

I'm fed up of my eyes being drawn to Cantona for example, rather than the Villa banner at the top of the page.

I know people keep referencing Man City's design (and rightly so, it's top notch) but their ads are totally non intrusive and do not move the eye away from the main content.

Ours is still very 'messy'.

OS giving free access to AVTVs build up to the West Ham game, with highlights of all the pre season goals.

Annoying

As an avtv subscriber I'm a bit pissed off that every time I log-in it brings me to the ''Join now and subscribe'' page rather than the audio/visual content meaning I can't access any of the material I'm paying for. Sent an email last night but haven't yet had a response.

Congratulations.  I tried to send an email complaining that I couldn't download the podcast any more but it just hung.

For a site that pretends to be up to the very best standards, I find it amazing that it's full of hidden "click here" links. Click here is against the standard even if it's marked, but in the text it's even worse.  ???
